Two Calls for Artists
Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital Wants Your Art!
Member Matalie Dean kindly forwarded the following Call for Artists:
Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital Art Committee is looking for artists to exhibit at the hospital’s gallery during 2021. If you are interested in applying contact smjhartcommittee@gmail.com for an application which will explain the simple process.
They are very interested in our member artists participating.
Arts in the Middle Juried Fine Arts Festival
Member (Janice) Bunny Creasy wants all of us to be aware of the next Arts in the Middle 7th annual arts festival. While the festival is not until early June 2021, they have issued a Save the Date/Call for Artists which you can view at this link: https://www.artsinthemiddle.com/. In the middle of that page, you should find an Info for Artists link to get all the details for entering your art.
With some luck and good public health stewardship, we might be emerging from the worst of the COVID-related restrictions so this could be a great venue for us all.
